SANTIAGO, Chile — Chilean protesters have thrown eggs at a conservative presidential candidate after he performed a Zumba dance.

It seems they objected more to Pablo Longueira's politics than his dancing ability.

Local radio Bio Bio reports that construction workers threw eggs at Longueira Wednesday after his performance at a campaign event in the capital of Santiago.

Longueira, of the conservative Alianza coalition, is a former economy minister who was close to ex-dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet. He's running in June 30 primary against former defense minister Andres Allamand for the chance to represent the center-right coalition.

Police arrested a man last month for spitting on center-left presidential candidate Michelle Bachelet during a campaign event.

Bachelet, the frontrunner in the Nov. 17 presidential vote, enjoyed high popularity ratings during her 2006-10 presidency.

Poor seamanship and flaws in keeping watch contributed to a collision between a Navy destroyer and a commercial container ship that killed seven sailors, Navy officials said, announcing that the warship captain will be relieved of command and more than a dozen other sailors will be punished.

Gunnar Birkerts, an internationally acclaimed modernist architect who designed buildings including the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis, the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, and the University of Michigan Law Library, has died. He was 92.
